Had my eye on these for awhile, and have 2 sat on my desk connected to a monitor arm…. now to wait for my RTX 3080…
Had to reorder one as it was doa, but not an indicator towards the monitor.

Brilliant monitor, very well reviewed already on youtube and has been consistently praised as one of the best 1440p, 144hz monitors out there.
Requires a bit of calibration, every panel is slightly different so best way to calibrate is by using a calibration device. You can try my settings too but it doesnt mean you are will get the same results i did:
Preset Mode- Gamer 1
Brightness- 30
Contrast- 70
Gamma- Mode 2
Color Temperature- Custom
RGB- 55, 49, 48
Overall great response times is one of the thungs which sets this monitor apart from the rest and also the way it handles motion in games. If you play FPS games this monitor is perfect. Highly recommended.
Cons – the stand takes up a lot of space. If you have a desk with a width of less than 60cm it may be an issue as the legs of the stand come forward quite a lot. I ended up vesa mounting mine which freed up a lot of room.

Limited review as not managed to check it properly yet, it does work and looks like it might be good. Have reviewed as is for now.
But it didnโt come with any drivers nor any decent operating manual (came with a cd, no cover, that has hardly anything on it). Previous LG monitor came with a CD with drivers and manuals etc.
So because of that I have not set it up fully yet and calibrated and tested on 3D applications.
But it looks like everything works so far.
In terms of size, it is perfect size for desktop pc. Certainly in height. Could use a little more width if you wanted it, eg ultrawide but it replaced a faulty Samsung 32 inch curved which was too big and that was an upgrade from LG 24 inch.
The other issue I had was fitting VESA mount. They have not allowed enough space to fit the bracket into the recess, although the 100mm screws line up.
I didnโt have long enough M4 screws handy to put in spacers so had to nip a little bit of metal off the top of the bracket and file the bottom to…

Iโve been pc gaming for a few years now and Iโm currently using an RTX 2080 gaming laptop so I thought it would be nice to have a larger screen and a higher resolution. After much research, this monitor or its predecessor the 27GL850 seemed to be one of the best choices when it comes to all round performance. It has a good refresh rate and a fantastic response time and the G-Sync works flawlessly with my Nvidia card. The screen looks absolutely fantastic, especially when receiving a 10 bit colour signal. For an IPS screen there is hardly any light bleed or IPS glow and it looks fantastic even when playing in a dark room. The build quality is very solid and although itโs early days, I canโt really fault it. Highly recommended!!!

The monitor has good features and it’s design is fine for a gaming model, although I would prefer a smaller stand that doesn’t take up so much room on the desk and a less blingy design without the red highlights.
The big problem is IPS glow and backlight bleed, mine had horrible IPS glow in all four corners and some backlight bleed from the bottom edge. It ruined the otherwise good picture because I use it in a dimly-lit room, so ultimately, I couldn’t keep it.
I have several IPS displays at home and this was by far the worst in terms of rampant glow and backlight bleed issues. I’ve tried three different LG monitor models in the last 3 months, and they all had very prominent IPS glow which completely ruins image quality if you’re in a fairly dim environment. If LG can tighten their quality control, this monitor would be a strong contender. Until then, avoid and look for Samsung’s G7 VA panels. I’m very happy I’ve switched.

A truly beatuiful display with a great display featuring amazing colours.. compared to my old TN panel at least. The thin bezels really help make the screen look great even when the display is turned off.
Pros
-Great colours
-Good looking
-Well done OSD and controls
-adaptive sync was easy to set up with geforce panel.
Cons
-misleading HDR10. Its not really HDR 10, its not even HDR40 technincally. It can accept hdr10 signals is what it means.
-It can only support 1440p hdr with adaptive sync at 100hz via hdmi or turn adaptive sync off for 144hz. Display port can do it all though.

Fantastic monitor. However, the VESA compatible plate for mounting has a critical design flaw. Instead of a square plate it has a curved corners. As a result I had to buy 22mm spacers and replace the stock M4x12 screws with M4x35. Now my monitor is VESA mounted successfully.

I bought this to replace 2x 6 year old TN panels and damn it makes a difference!
My only gripe is that I wish I waited as this model has gone down in price and I wish I bought the 27GL850 as it’s the same panel but with a similar stand but you can plug a usb cable into the back of the other one and both use it as a usb pass-through but also you can change the profile / brightness / etc with an app on your pc whereas with this one you can do it on the monitor itself.
Additionally you cannot update the firmware on this one but you can on the 27GL850
